Swimming

Wednesday 26 September

Twenty pupils represented the school in the South West round
of the English Schools Relays against 43 other schools.

"For some members of the
team this event was an introduction to high level competition," said Dr Robb.

"All teams
competed in 4 x 50 m freestyle relay as well as swimming their specialist
strokes in the 4 x 50m medley relay. The teams put in a fantastic performance
in the school's first entry in such an event and our teams were placed mid
field in most categories.

"A special mention should go to the junior boys team
of whose time of 2:46:18 placed them eighth in the medley relay. The senior boys
team of Andre Orchard, Sam Sims, Luca Riezzo and Jake Allman swam the race of
their lives to swim the medley relay in 1:58:57 and come fifth in South West.

"An
outstanding achievement considering the squad have been together for one year."

Gala v Maynard

The
first home gala of the year saw Exeter School host The Maynard.

The girls' teams raced in 50m of each stroke, 100m individual medley
and 4 by 25m medley and freestyle relays.

"In a close run gala with some
finishes coming down to 1/10ths of seconds Exeter won the junior and
intermediate age groups, while The Maynard won in the senior age group," said Dr Robb.

"Anna Czipri
and Grace Gillingham performed strongly and each recorded gala records in the
intermediate girls age group, while Rachel Hammond claimed a school record in
the senior girls backstroke.”

James Horler lost to a very talented Tom Whitley at 1. The
remaining team members overhauled West Buckland with convincing wins. Max
Cochram, Tom Peters and Sam Read were clinical. Bobby Heard only conceded 3
points in 3 games and Emma Corney despatched West Buckland’s Katie Woods.

“As
preparation for the forthcoming National Cup matches, this was an excellent
first fixture," commented Coach Aplin.
